This week’s photo challenge is about capturing rhythm and motion, and sharing a photo of something that appears like dance.

Sitting around a camp fire watching the dancing flames is one of my favourite things to do. The flames take on a life of their own and have a mesmerising and almost hypnotising effect. Watching the flames reach up, jump, disappear and reappear to their own rhythm with the smell and sound of a sociable wood fire is utterly peaceful.
